Bitcoin RPC
Overview
The verifytxoutproof RPC method verifies the given transaction proof (in the form of a Merkle block) and returns an array of transaction hashes contained in the verified Merkle block. This method can be used to confirm that specific transactions are included in a block without having to download the entire block.
Parameters
proof: The hex-encoded proof generated by the gettxoutproof RPC method.
Returns
An array of transaction hashes contained in the verified Merkle block.
